The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has said that not all who registered for the Continuous Voter Registration, (CVR), which was suspended at the weekend, would be entitled to the Permanent Voters Cards, (PVCs) to make them eligible to vote.
INEC’s National Commissioner for Information and Voters Education, Festus Okoye, who made the disclosure, while speaking in Abuja, put the estimated number of voters for the 2023 general election at 95 million, and maintained that prospective voters, who indulged in multiple or double registrations, would be deleted from the commission’s data, and would ultimately be denied the PVCs.
Okoye recalled that in the first and second quarters of the CVR over 46% of those who registered were removed from the commission data for multiple registrations.
